I honestly don't understand why people waited so I don't use mastodon but I did cancel my Twitter account literally the first week he bought it. It wasn't hard to see this coming and I just don't get the delay.

Dear Americans, how do you go back to normal after such an election campaign? in c/[email protected]

I'm sure the sentence for everything Musk has done has to be far more than a month (the election stuff aside, he has some shady financial stuff surrounding the purchase of Twitter and probably Tesla stock, etc). They need to lock him up as long as they would lock up the rest of us if we did that.

It's good to be open with a prospective partner but my God at least wait till the appetizer gets to the table.

Which means don't buy electronics on Amazon because you can't usually tell from the listing and if it is, it could just be counterfeit.

Definitely not small, our website is down so we can't do any business and we're a huge company. Multiply that by all the companies that are down, lost time on projects, time to get caught up once it's fixed, it'll be a huge number in the end.

Have your manual doors, peasant, but I will not debase myself in such a fashion.

Amazon execs may be personally liable for tricking users into Prime sign-ups in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

My mom recently asked me to cancel her prime reading or whatever for her and it was infuriating. I was in the app and clicked cancel and it went to a browser where I had to click to cancel and that just opened the app where I had to click the same link that opened the browser that opened the app that opened the browser. I was getting fucking pissed when it suddenly finally opened the link in the browser so I could cancel. I'm 99% sure they actually have it coded to open in the browser after 10 tries or something to make it difficult but can't run afoul of legislation since you can technically do it if you are tenacious enough.
